Trivia: The giant indoors explosion at Fhloston Paradise was actually the largest indoor explosion ever filmed. It was so huge, the fire actually almost burned down the soundstage, and it took nearly a half-hour to get it under control.

Trivia: Model and actress Maïwenn wasn't originally supposed to play the diva. However, for whatever reason, the original actress cast just... never showed up for filming. Since Maïwenn was married to director Luc Besson at the time and was around set, she was recruited to fill in for the part at the last minute.

Trivia: The Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon would later make a cameo in the DC comics movie "Blue Beetle", as a weapon briefly conjured up by the Blue Beetle suit.

TedStixon

Trivia: One of the first weapons the suit creates is an almost exact replica of the Zorg ZF-1 Pod Weapon System from the movie "The Fifth Element." The only major difference being that it's blue instead of the original tan camouflage color.

Continuity mistake: When Jim walks over to Maddie and Sarah after surfing at the beginning of the film, the board flips instantly between cuts between the second and third shot. (The fins are facing him in the first two shots, then facing away in the third.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie and Sara are telling Jim about all the reasons they've had sex with men, the pile of whittled wood chips in front of Jim vanishes between cuts right as the scene is about to end.

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is reading the Craigslist ad, she goes from handing Sarah back her phone with her left hand to suddenly having her left hand up under her chin instantly between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is talking to her pregnant friend Sara while she's folding napkins at the beginning, the way her friend is holding her phone changes multiple times between cuts.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie is put on napkin-folding duty at the beginning of the film, the way she's folding and stacking the napkins and silverware changes multiple times between cuts. Ex. At one point a napkin appears in front of her that wasn't there in the previous shot. Some of the silverware moves around between shots. Etc.

Audio problem: When Maddie is at her job and she says, "These people are the reason I'm losing my house!" pay attention. The word "house" doesn't quite match when the shot cuts from a wide shot to a medium shot.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie's car gets pulled back up on the by the tow-truck with her inside, the angle of the car in the wideshots doesn't match the background when we see the shot of Maddie inside. (Ex. At one point, the ground behind Maddie looks almost "level" even though the car was at a near-45 degree angle in the wideshot prior.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie tries to steal her car back from Gary, there are two girls sitting out front of the little food stand he's shopping at. At one point, they notice what's going on and get up and start walking towards the car. But then they're suddenly back to sitting a few shots later and "notice" it a second time.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: In the opening scene, when Maddie is talking to Gary, the way her hair is down over her shoulders changes subtly between shots a few times despite the fact she's not moving much.

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: When Maddie comes out of her house at the beginning, she has her bathrobe open. She closes it, but doesn't tie it shut. It's suddenly tied shut starting in the next shot. (She's facing away from the camera, but you can tell it's tied shut from how tight the "belt" is around her waist.)

Trivia: The plot was reportedly inspired by a real Craigslist ad, one of the producers saw online. They brought it to Jennifer Lawrence, who fell in love with the concept and joined the production as both star and producer.

TedStixon

Trivia: Jennifer Lawrence has stated that everyone in her professional and personal life kept asking her over and over if she really wanted to do the scripted nude fight scene, which she could have vetoed as a producer. However, she thought the idea of getting angry and beating up a bunch of drunk teenagers after skinny-dipping was absolutely hilarious, and had to keep reassuring everyone that she had no problems with it.

TedStixon

Trivia: When the film was released, a big deal was made about the fact there's a 10+ year age gap between stars Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman, with many expressing that they felt it was inappropriate that Lawrence was older. However, the cast and crew pointed out this as being immensely hypocritical, as Bradley Cooper is 15 years older than Lawrence and played her love-interest in "Silver Linings Playbook," which nobody complained about despite her only being only 22 at the time.

TedStixon

Trivia: Just something amusing to pay attention to... during the "Eye Trap," Jigsaw gives the subject a 60-second time limit. But if you actually time the scene, the trap goes off only about 55 seconds after it starts. This is actually quite ironic because in the other movies, a common error is that the trap scenes last way longer than the time limits Jigsaw gives, whereas this one is actually slightly shorter. (Probably not a mistake, however, since it's a "vision" and not real.)

TedStixon

Continuity mistake: SPOILERS: In the post-credits scene, after Henry's trap starts, in the second-to-last shot, you see him sort of start to shake and rear his head back. But then in the next shot, he's no longer shaking. Additionally, his head is down again and he rears it back a second time.

TedStixon

Trivia: There's a very fun, subtle "blink and you'll miss it" detail in the climax. When Ginny finds the head of Mrs. Voorhees in the shack, in the first shot, you can actually briefly see the decomposing (almost mummified) body of Alice, the only survivor of the original film, on the floor. What gives it away? The ice-pick Jason stabbed her with at the beginning of this movie is still sticking out of her forehead.
